Scotty, guess that is what most people are getting, Pacific Simulation brought the "commercial whooper pack" for their 737 simulators, Sean want the lessor with the weapons pack to suit his A4 pit and I think I'll be like you and buy the "Academic Licence" for 59.95 USD pack.

Some people will find it easy to give up FSX, a lot won't at the moment. It depends on what you use in FSX, it might take a few months to get Prepar3D to the same stage.

Overall, is P3D "easier" on performance than FSX?[/quote]

Very difficult to answer -- but if I needed to give a simple answer, I'd say Prepar3D is heavier on performance, depending on your hardware. Not being CPU-bound really helps, but it does need more grunt than FSX. If anyone finds that FSX struggles on their system, I don't think that Prepar3D would help.

Another way of looking at it is FSX at is introduction was more prolific regard to the freeware, transition only a few months simply because many files could go a 'Portover" where if you go to the freeware sites there is very little solely designed for P3D tho many can can transferred across tho plenty of payware.

Ian, could you expand on the weapons pack? I'm interested in P3D (DCS is pretty cool but has some massive limitations) but wouldn't mind being able to blow some stuff up too
